Once we have ten orders then Dingo will ship out a bulk order to me, and I will send them out to everyone.





You can now order this amazing calendar that our own dingo has put together through JW.

The price will be £12.99 plus shipping (shipping rates to follow but I expect it to be around £2 for the UK, £3 for Europe, and £5 for the US and rest of the world), we expect demand to be high, so get your order in early if you want it in time for Xmas.

You will be able to pay via, paypal, bank transfer and cash through snail mail (at your own risk).

You will not only be getting a great Calendar but also supporting JW as the price will include a donation to the sites running costs.

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words so I will let the pictures do the talking and leave dingo to answer any questions you have.

Congrats Dingo you have produced a Masterpiece for sure.

Thanks Jabba, its great to be able to work together to sell these calendars. When I made them I had local sales in mind but getting them worldwide with your help is even better. Much appreciated, and its going to a great cause which benefits us all. :D

BTW, the calendars are A3 in size - 12 pages plus the cover.

Well spotted :wink:

Thanks Dingo and Jabba for showing once again what a great place this is! :D

A beautiful calender with beautiful shots by a JW member. And a donation to JW, what a close teamwork!

I think Ill order one for myself, and one to give away! :mrgreen:

Nice size A3!

:shock: Incredible job, congrats for putting it in place !!

Wow, I had no idea this project was even happening but it turned out fantastic! With Christmas around the corner, this may be a good gift idea :D

One for me please dingohoney! I'll put it on the wall right beside gt3000's one ;)

wow, cool dingo!

nice work! 8)

Thanks guys, comments are much appreciated. I will have more exact postage pricing today and then orders can start to be placed through Jabba. :D

dani - I don't care how the Spanish do it! :P

goodduck - I think there will still be some available around Xmas time, but better to get in early if you want one (its not that much $$ really). :D

Awesome idea Dingo! Looks great 8)

TOP STUFF!!!!! :shock: Excelent idea Dingo & Jabba :P

If anyone wishes to place an order for a calendar yet, then they can PM me directly or send an email to [email protected]

The Pay Pal payment address is [email protected] also, but please ask for a shipping quote before placing your order.

Cheers

Jabba

Me want, me want :D

as soon as I get home I'm reading the "rules" and ordering :D

:love: :drool:

email sent ;)

PM sent for the mighty Dingolendar :mrgreen:

That's a good idea for sure, but we would need to be sure every POTM winner pic exists in at leat 6, or better 8 MP and above. You'll need that at least for a good quality A3 print.
Also, I was curious to know how dingo managed to produce the calendar.

I already wanted to do a SCS's calendar some time ago, but it's not that easy to produce a limited amount of copies for a fair price and of course you don't want to loose money on it.
In the family we had a printing facility untill time ago, and that would have helped a lot, but it's not the case anymore and all the offers I got to have proper thick, gloss and high-quality paper, even thicker cover, cardboard back, nice spiral and so on were VERY expensive and nobody would have bought them

That will be the problem if you wanna make a JW calendar, to make it viable the qty will have to be high - the question is can you sell that many?

I had alot of these calendars made so that I didn't have to pay $50 for each one, but I have still invested quite a considerable sum to make them all. I did a bit of research/investigation to see if I could at least make my money back and after deciding I could took the plunge and ordered them.

It came down to thinking that these pics are unique (location and these type of cars) and therefore should be something people want to buy. I wasn't going to make a calendar with a Ferrari in some nice Perth location because I just don't think its special enough to sell. :bah:

I know ALOT of people in the car industry in Australia so I'm fairly confident I will get my $$$ back, so far I am a 1/3 of the way there after about a week of selling. :D

It was/is a risk and I might lose money out of this but its something I really wanted to do, and I do like a bet (casino, horse racing, stock market :P ) so I thought "why not?" :D

I bet youre definitelly NOT loosing your moniez on the qualitty pictures like these :wink: :D

Cant wait to see one in my room :D

Order list updated, 7 more orders needed !!

Come on people, this is pretty poor so far. :(

When this idea to collaborate with JW was proposed I expected quite a few orders, especially since a nice sum will be donated to the running costs of this site which we all love. Plus you get something in return too.....win-win isn't it?

Great idea Dani! :D

This is the gamble you take with a "for sale" item ;)

Just hang in there - as you can see, even a "free download" only got 580 "buyers" afetr 2 months.

Yep - great idea.. because then the "Where the hell is my Video of the Week" folks can spread half their anger on the Calendar :P

6 more orders required :?

Updated : 4 more orders required.

Updated : 3 more orders required.

** FORGOT TO PUT MYSELF DOWN LOL **

Pretty piss poor effort.... :( I thought there would be more interest given the fact you are also helping out JW.

Anyway, thanks to those who did order...I think we'll just go ahead and ship these 7 for now. I'll give it another day or two for any final orders and then get them off.

Jabba, I'll be in contact regarding costs and shipping.

I am afraid its typical of this forum, I remember people bugging the shit out of me, for JW stickers, caps, t-shirts, mugs, etc etc I knew it would be a waste of time, but anything to keep people happy.

The shop opened about 6 months ago, at further cost to me, and each month I may add, and what for :

3 fucking sales to date, all the rest I paid for and sent out to the top posting members of the site, so I guess the shop will be closing in 2007.

dam, if i had enough posts i'd post some pics of it hanging in my lounge room :/

email it to me, I'll post.

and yeah it's a strange thing really, i'm not sure how to track sales properly on my posterbook as it's a bit confusing, i may have it wrong but i don't think anyone's bought any :( :P

i'm nearly there... :)

here we are... not great light for a photo of my loungeroom wall but hey...

i love posters of cars, i haven't had any up since i was a kid and it dawned on me recently that they're great to have hanging around... best place for the calendar though is at werk where you can just drift off and stare at it thinking of a better life.

here's Dingo's calendar, it's 10/10 quality. next to that is my posterbook which i'll link to sometime later, and then a huge hardmounted photo that my gf got for me for my bday.

I know that :? , I didn't order because I wasn't interested by these stuffs, I prefer to donate every month or so ...

Yeah its pretty pathetic Jabba Ill give you that...

At least you know on which people you can depend in these occasions :?

I have to say Goodduck I like the idea! :D

*quack*

Just saw the thread... Are your calendars still available dingo?

Agree with dani, would be too difficult and expensive.

Yes they are, PM Jabba for details. ;)

Jabba - would it be possible to mention the calendar on the JW homepage, might get some more sales since not everyone browses the entire forum (like Mr Vercetti missing it).

Thats a good idea, we will be moving over to the Xmas theme tomorrow, so I will get it done then.

Lets hope that Ill boost the orders :?

Just saw the homepage - thanks Jabba, I hope we get a few more orders this way.

I'd like to have this calendar also please:)

Order list updated : ONE more order now required !

Just saw the new frontpage with the advertisment on it. Looks very good Jabba!

At last, we now have the tenth order so feel free to send away Dingo.

I'll take one too! PMing Jabba now..

Orders list updated 8)

I want one as well!!! Sorry I noticed this thread so late :oops:

I'm sending a PM to Jabba right now ;)

Order list updated !

One more order.

When are you planning on sending them Dingo ?
